- Medical, Nonfiction, Homeopathic physicians, Alternative medicine
Today, one out of every three Americans uses some form of alternative medicine, either along with their conventional ("standard," "traditional") medications or in place of them. One of the most controversial--as well as one of the most popular--alternatives is homeopathy, a wholly Western invention brought to America from Germany in 1827, nearly forty years before the discovery that germs cause disease.
